Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA Online Heists will arrive in early 2015. With that, they are promising 20 hours of gameplay featuring new weapons, vehicles and items. This all comes from an interview over at IGN with Imran Sarwar, the lead mission designer and GTA Online producer.

Rewards will be handed out to players for completing all five Heists in order, as well as completing them in first person mode on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

“We never want to have to move a date but if something is delayed, it’s because it’s not at the level we expect of ourselves,” said lead mission designer Imran Sarwar of the long-awaited Heists missions. “And while we’re not there yet, we’re getting close and Heists will be ready early in 2015.” - Imran Sarwar

Heists will require 4 players who are all at least Rank 12, with some heists requiring players to split into smaller teams to complete separate high value objectives.

Whoever is leading the heist will need to own a high-end apartment in order to plan out the job. The leader will be contacted by Lester when there is news of a job available, and it’s up to the leader to invite players into the crew, assign positions, pick outfits and allocate each player’s cut.

The other three crew members will get a cash payout for each prep mission, while the leader won’t receive their cash until the whole heist is complete.

Each heist will end with a big set-piece mission with players taking on multiple roles. Players will be gaining access to new vehicles, new weapons, new items and new clothing, and visiting some surprising locations and interacting with some familiar characters from the story.
